Why do the living visit graveyards at this time of the year? Qingming – also known as Qingming Jie – is a traditional festival when the Chinese visit tombs of their dearly departed to pay respects. It usually falls on the 15th day after the Spring Equinox; which happens to be April 4 this year. Most people will observe these rites either on the day inself, or 10 days before or after the actual day between March 26 and April 13.
When Chinese families visit their ancestral graves to pray to ancestors for protection and blessings they would be wise to also assess the tomb for feng shui problems, says local feng shui master Louis Loh.
